Lesson 95 A fantasy
When the Ambassador of Escalopia returned home for lunch, his wife got a shock. He looked pale and his clothes were in a frightful state.
'What has happened ?' she asked.
'How did your clothes get into such a mess ?'
'A fire-extinguisher, my dear,' answered the Ambassador drily. 'University students set the Embassy on fire this morning.'
'Good heavens!' exclaimed his wife. 'And where were you at the time ?'
'I was in my office as usual,' answered the Ambassador. 'The fire broke out in the basement. I went down immediately. of course, and that fool, Horst, aimed a fire-extinguisher at me. He thought I was on fire. I must definitely get that fellow posted.'
The Ambassador's wife went on asking questions, when she suddenly noticed a big hole in her husband's hat. 'And how can you explain that ?' she asked.
'Oh, that,' said the Ambassador. 'Someone fired a shot through my office window. Accurate, don't you think ? Fortunately, I wasn't wearing it at the time. If I had been, I would not have been able to get home for lunch.'

自评:
'What has happened ?' she asked. 'How did your clothes get into such a mess ?'语气太差
口腔没打开,有一种很挤很紧的感觉,部分单词在朗读过程中没有把动作的张力做到位,声音不够准。最后一个Time完全是错误的。Shot的t舌尖没有做抵上齿龈的动作。Notice hole不饱满。
练习感悟:
先做晨读文章的练习再朗读,应该会读得更好一些。就这么愉快地决定了。
